#i love these videos #but i really really hate when summer is called a mpdg #did you miss the entire point of the film #which was that tom wanted her to be a mpdg for him #and she realized it #and didn’t want that #basically the point of the film is that tom #while being very attractive and seeming quite charming on the surface #is actually a giant douche #because after everything he’s learned from summer #it’s implied that he’s going to turn right around and do it to autumn again at the end

So I just saw a graphic of 500 Days o Summer that described Summer as a bitch

Excuse me? I’m sorry but do you want to explain to me how exactly Summer is a bitch?

Is it because she made it clear from the start what she wanted from the relationship and what she was willing to give and then didn’t change her mind? (P.S. Tom agreed that he was fine with not being serious even though he clearly wasn’t fine with it)

Is she a bitch because she broke up with a guy when she was no longer happy in the relationship and didn’t want to make herself miserable by sticking around.

Or is it because she didn’t fall madly in love with Tom?

Because you know when someone has feelings for you you are obligated to return those feelings. And even if you don’t feel the same way you should ignore how you feel and cater to the other person’s feelings and needs because heaven forbid you ~break their heart~ by not being in love with them.

Because you know everyone can just control how and when and if they fall in love. 

God damnit
